And I'm here to welcome you to my podcast, Ikigai Leadership. We're gonna be talking to leaders in all different industries from all different backgrounds and demographics from all over the world. And we'll be discussing topics like leadership development, culture, DEI, content creation and marketing, and all things business and entrepreneurship. Dhru 00:27Everybody, welcome back to another edition of Ikigai Leadership. Thank you so much for joining us. My name is Dhru Beeharilal. I'm here with a unique guest who I'm actually excited about this interview because we can talk through just really just talk shit, Sajad Abid. Sajad, thank you for joining us today. Sajad 00:42Thank you very much. It's Sajad Abid. Dhru 00:45Abid, sorry, my bad. Sajad 00:46It’s okay, well, we gotta get my dead grandfather's name right. Dhru 00:48Fair enough. My apologies. Sajad 00:50I've been called worse. Dhru 00:51That's true. That's fair. I mean, I'm sure I think we all have but yeah, I'm sure you especially have. Sajad 00:58Thanks. I think. Dhru 00:59No, it's a compliment. So, we just talked a few minutes before we started this conversation here. And I'm actually gonna start with a little bit different than I normally do. And I want folks to hear about your idea about weekends, or lack thereof. So, we just talked about a unique perspective you have on weekdays, weekends, and just days in general. Do you mind sharing that real quick before we jump into your backstory and everything? Sajad 01:24Sure, I have no idea what day it is, until somebody tells me. There's a quote that says, “If you do what you love for a living, you never work a day in your life.” So, my life is Groundhog's Day. It's the same thing every single day and it's fun all the time. I work the vast majority of the time, but I love what I do. So, it's not like work at all. It's not like hard labour, or I've positioned my life, to be in the place where I get to do exactly what I want, be completely myself, have complete autonomy, help a lot of people make a lot of money. I help them make a lot of money, and I make a lot of money. So, it's all fun, everything's good. Every single day. Dhru 02:08The podcast title is Ikigai Leadership and that leads Ikigai, right, the whole, like, finding passion for what you're doing. And then just leaning into it and doing it, right? And finding different aspects of yourself that you want to enjoy. And then really leading to all those aspects at the same time, because there are different things that are gonna light up different parts of you, right? Sajad runs a couple of different things. One is Cause and Effect Consulting, which is a, I'll let you talk about what exactly it is. But my bad summary of it is business coaching and supporting people in positions of being business owners and leaders in organizations kind of thing, and how to grow their businesses. Right? That's my short, really bad version ...
